Abstract

In intense laser beams, when perturbative treatments are no longer valid, the dressed atom approach provides a quantitative understanding of the main features of dipole or intensity gradient forces (mean value, fluctuations, velocity dependence). In this lecture, we present such an approach and we apply it to atomic motion in an intense standing wave. New efficient laser cooling schemes taking advantage of stimulated processes are proposed. They work for a blue detuning and do not saturate at high intensity.
